Bright arc over the ESO Supernova
On the 15 April 2018 bright halo phenomenon appeared over ESO Supernova Planetarium & Visitor Centre. A halo is an optical phenomenon produced by light (in this case solar) interacting with ice crystals suspended in the atmosphere. From several features the tangent arc can be seen in this photo. More information about halo formations is available here.
